A 72 year old woman was thought to have a paradoxically split second heart sound. Echocardiography with simultaneous phonocardiography revealed a late systolic click resulting from isolated tricuspid valve prolapse. Respiratory variation of the click in relation to the second heart sound resulted in an auscultatory phenomenon simulating paradoxical splitting of the second heart sound
